Excerpt from -A Parson’s Adventure- written by George MacPherson in 1925

 

——————————————————————————————————————————

 ?   New! 

Here is another excerpt from “A Parson’s Adventure”. This is a number of years later after the “Foster Revival”. George MacPherson (the author) had finished his seminary training in New York State and was seeking God to guide him to the church he should preach in. The Lord led him to the Baptist Church at Mahopac Falls, New York.

He writes in his own words;
“I had not as yet accepted a pastorate, though I had been honored with invitations from several strong churches to come to them, one of which was the most flattering call extended to any student in the senior class. But not feeling led of God to
any one of those fields I declined them all. So after graduation I was obliged to remain in Hamilton and
await the Master’s bidding.

The boys in my class, who now were all located on their respective fields, viewed me as being some-
what peculiar because of my independence in declining the overtures from the churches. Dr.
Arthur Jones, my teacher in homiletics, urged that I cling to my ideal, saying that the greatest sorrow he
had in the ministry came as a result of his decision to serve as pastor of a certain church to which the
Lord had not called him. I decided to remain in Hamilton and await the call of the great Commander to a field of labor.”

We take up the story when this church accepted Him to come and pastor. When he preached his first sermon as their pastor this is what happened.
